This is a pretty bog standard multiplex, though be warned, it's located in a fairly chavy area…read morewhich has two implications: a) you may find yourself having to ask your fellow patrons to stop talking/not answer their phones during the film (believe it or not, the second exchange actually happened to me a few months back); and the selection of films on offer rarely threatens to excite the judges at Cannes. However, I go on an all too regular basis due to one fact: they run an 'Unlimited' scheme where you pay £13.50 a month which allows you to go as often as you want. This is very much a double-edged sword, as I often drag myself to see something I don't really fancy and get a pleasant surprise (Coco Before Chanel), but I also regularly convince myself to give something a go and it turns out to be utter shit (The Time Traveller's Wife). Still it's a bargain either way, though if you're not prepared for that kind of commitment, you may wish to know that Tuesday offers reduced entry all day, and Wednesday is, of course, an Orange affair.

Longwell Green is an area of East Bristol which has a group of business parks. Although not shiny…read moreand new, it is a useful set of stores all in one place for those of us this side of the city. First up there is a large Asda, which is next to a site called Aspects Park - this holds a swimming pool, Vue cinema and the ubiquitous Frankie & Benny/Chiquitos add-ons to these sort of things. Just up from that is a retail park with a new, large Marks & Spencer, Outfit, New Look, Next, Boots, Clarks, Clinton Cards, Carphone Warehouse and River Island. And then again opposite that is a DIY park with large B&Q, Jollyes, pet food store, Comet, Tile Flair, Wickes and Homebase. Of course you can drive here, but it is also easily accessible from the Ring Road cycle path (route 16) - it is very well signposted when it has to wiggle through the houses, splits off to get to the entertainment area and then you cycle through Asda to get to the M&S and DIY areas. Each area has a good amount of cycle racks which are not really used.

I've been to Vue at Cribbs a fair few times over the years but it had been a while before I went…read moreagain on Saturday. I took my girls hot on the heels of our successful family day out the previous weekend to our local, single screen cinema. What a contrast! The entrance was fancy, the door to each screen had a great big number and star handle entrance. The screen was big and the seats were laid out well but that's as good as it got. The snacks area was deserted and having spent quite a few minutes looking for the prices of popcorn I reluctantly approached the counter to ask the price. Unsurprisingly the popcorn was very expensive but what bugged me was Vue's reluctance to clearly state what their prices were. The only thing across the top signs (like the ones you get in McDonalds) was their combo meal. Pointing this out to the member of staff who served me I was told it wasn't him who chose what goes up there. True but he could have passed on my feedback or at least act like he hasn't been told that a million times. There were two options of sizes of popcorn, 30p difference in cost between the two. So no one is going to choose the smaller size. What a choice you offer Vue. The price of the ticket was gobsmacking after my local cinema, especially for a Dad taking two young children. Going in, the cinema was empty, I would guess 10% full. Why not reduce tickets for children during the day for certain young children films. Get kids in to going to the cinema and then you can make money out of them later. Sell small children portion snacks and you'll make some of that money back. Oh and my seat was dirty. Even the VIP seats looked average compared to other places I've been. Well I won't be returning if I have a choice but I'm not turning my back on going to the cinema, there are cheaper and better options out there. Start thinking about your customer experience Vue because that's the difference between sitting at home, watching illegally downloaded films and going to the cinema.

Frome is very lucky to have it's own local cinema, when many comparative-sized towns for miles…read morearound do not have that luxury. The small and rather old-fashioned Westway Cinema stands in the same street as (now demolished) The Gaumont, the main cinema from the sixties era in this town. The films are usually pretty much up to the minute - even if not quite as fast as the bigger towns - well, we have a quieter pace of life around here! As for facilities, it's situated built into the Westway shopping precinct and just a few footsteps away from the central car park. There's showings every day, often twice a day, and as mentioned the titles are always popular, recently released films. Up the steep stairs (ask in advance about wheelchair access) there is a small foyer with ticket sales, sweet and soft drink sales - and a small bar. Yes, here you can sip a pint or two as you watch the action unfold on the screen. In homage to the olden days of cinema a small ice-cream kiosk opens between the adverts and the main feature for last-minute stock-up of drinks and nibbles. With concessions for children and OAPs and a perfectly pleasant and comfortable setting, this saves a small fortune (especially for families) on travelling to the more pricey cinemas in Bath. Well worth supporting your local cinema!

The Prospect Theatre is a stunning new performance space which…read more comes fully equipped to handle most performances, from concerts through to full scale musicals. The auditorium has been designed to promote exceptional acoustic qualities and has a high degree of flexibility in terms of layout through the removal of seating. Seats can be taken away to create an Orchestra Pit or even to extend the stage and create an extended apron or partial thrust. Far from being exclusively a theatre for performances, the space also offers versatile conference and lecturing facilities, with the ability to close off the stage behind sound proof doors. A cinema standard projector and screen enable presentations and films to be shown with the benefit of the sound system without impacting on other events you may choose to run on stage. The Prospect Theatre is set at the heart of our facilities at the end of the striking atrium and adjacent to the restaurant, all facilities which can be made available as a part of your package. The space itself is served with two green rooms, both of which have the ability to screen the stage action on the wall and playback live sound from the stage to ensure your company don't miss a thing, or their cue! The stage and space come fully equipped with the latest industry standard items with full details and our tech rider available. To assist your design team as much as possible.

Quite simply the best cinema Bath has to offer…read more If you want to be transported back to the forties, when you didn't have to crane your neck to take in the whole screen and every showing was served up with a big bag of popcorn. The Little Theatre brings you a range of movies from indie art house to mainstream films on a not-so-large screen, while you relax in a big comfy chair. Inside there is a tiny confectionary stand that serves alcohol, coffees, teas and softdrinks as well as pop corn, chocolate and crisps. Unlike the larger cinemas, they change their films around quickly so if there's a movie you want to see you're wise to book early to avoid disappointment. Also keep an eye on the website for any special screenings that might be going on. I once went to a premiere screening of The Duchess, which was filled at Bath's Royal Crescent.

Last year, we went to André Rieu's Homecoming Concert, in Maastricht. We couldn't go this year,…read moreowing to another commitment. But, thanks to an organisation called Cinema Live (http://www.cinemalive.com ) we were able to see it more or less as it happened. What they do is transmit concerts and events live via satellite to cinemas throughout the world. The nearest one to us was the delightfully compact Little Theatre cinema in Bath. I don't think the concert was, actually, 'live' but, if it wasn't, it was recorded fairly recently. A clue was that André seemed to introduce each number in English. Last year, as might be expected from a Dutchman addressing a Dutch audience, he spoke in Dutch. So, had it been pre-recorded, or was someone doing some really good real-time dubbing? There were far fewer people the cinema was only about a quarter full The announcements were in English (I was expecting sub-titles at best); we got close-ups and distant shots that just wouldn't have been possible if we'd actually been there (although these are on the DVD we usually buy afterwards) and the seats were much more comfortable. On the minus side, Bath is not really the place I want to visit at the height of the tourist season. However, we did enjoy the concert, but agreed it wasn't quite like actually being there (we didn't do a river cruise, or visit the St. Pietersberg caves) although it fell short by only the tiniest margin. Maybe if, sometime, they did it in 3D?

All in all, flashy: yes. Art house: no.
